**Definition of the Set X**

The set \( X \) is defined recursively with the following rules:

1. **Base Case (B):** The numbers 3 and 7 are included in the set \( X \).

2. **Recursive Case (R):** If \( x \) and \( y \) are elements in the set \( X \), then their sum \( x + y \) is also in the set \( X \). It is permissible that \( x = y \).

---

**Assertion to Prove**

Prove that for every natural number \( n \geq 12 \), \( n \) is an element of the set \( X \).
